The federal crimes process with an Arab lawyer
Our Arabic-speaking federal crimes attorneys guide you through every step of your case in Chicago.
1
Target Letter / Investigation Response
If you receive a target letter or learn you are under federal investigation, contact a federal defense attorney immediately. Pre-indictment intervention can sometimes prevent charges.
2
Grand Jury & Indictment Defense
Federal cases require grand jury indictment. While grand juries almost always indict, your attorney can present exculpatory evidence and challenge the government's case before trial.
3
Discovery & Pre-Trial Motions
Review voluminous federal discovery — wiretaps, financial records, informant reports. File critical pre-trial motions to suppress evidence, challenge informant reliability, or argue entrapment.
4
Plea Negotiation or Trial
Federal trial conviction rates exceed 90%. If the evidence is strong, a carefully negotiated plea with cooperation or safety valve provisions can achieve below-guidelines sentencing. If the case has real defenses, trial may be the best option.
